According to Archimedes' principle, the mass of a floating object equals the mass of the fluid displaced by the object. A 150-lb

m swimmer is floating in nearby pool; 95% of her body's volume is in the water while 5% of her body's volume is above water. Determine the density of the swimmer's body The density of water is 0.036 lbm/in5. Does your answer make sense?? Why why not?

Answer:

The density of the swimmer is 0.0342 lbm/in3.

This value makes sense as the density of the body is very similar to the water.

Explanation:

If the swimmers is floating, the weight of the swimmer must be equal to the upward buoyant force.

We can express the weight force as the product of density and volume of the swimmer.

Then

\rho_{swimmer}*V_{swimmer}=\rho_{water}*V_{water_displaced}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}*V_{swimmer}=\rho_{water}*0.95**V_{swimmer}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.95*\rho_{water}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.95*0.036 lbm/in3\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.0342lbm/in3

It makes sense as the density of the body is very similar to the water.

Heat Transfer Lab

The following represents a lab set up for heat transfer. The cup on the left started with boiling water at 100 degrees C and the cup on the right has water at 20 degrees C. There is an aluminum bar between the two cups allowing heat to transfer from one cup into the other. The set up will be left alone for 20 minutes and temperatures of each cup of water will be recorded every minute for 20 minutes.

Write a net ionic equation for the overall reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of nitrous acid and sodium hydroxide are
Bess [88]

Answer:

H+(aq) +  OH-(aq) → H2O(l)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

nitrious acid = HNO3

sodium hydroxide = NaOH

Step 2: The unbalance equation

HNO3(aq) + NaOH(aq) →NaNO3(aq) + H2O(l)

The net ionic equation, for which spectator ions are omitted - remember that spectator ions are those ions located on both sides of the equation - will , after canceling those spectator ions in both side (Ba^2+ and Br-), look like this:

H+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) →Na+(aq) +NO3(aq) + H2O(l)

H+(aq) +  OH-(aq) → H2O(l)

When a person in the hospital is given fluids intravenously, the fluid is typically a saline (salt) solution with about the same
Sati [7]

Answer:

Swelling of the red blood cells occurs.

Explanation:

  • <u>Distilled water makes the blood hypotonic ,. that is a less concentrated solution, to the body  tissues including  the red blood cells. </u>
  • Therefore the water will enter the red blood cells and may cause them to lyse or swell.
  • <em>Additionally , water will enter the tissue spaces and cause sweling. </em>
  • But in the case of a hypertonic solution , ( a salt or saline solution ) , <em>This swelling does not happen because the concentration of the saline will be equal or more than the blood. </em>
  • Thus the water will flow only from the blood to the solution. <u>This will not cause swelling.</u>
  • But too much of salt is also not recommended.
